(Origanum vulgare hirtum)
We all love oregano as a staple in Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine, but there is a difference in taste by variety. Greek Oregano has a deeper and more pungent flavor than Italian oregano. Its smaller compact leaves hold up well in the cooking process. It tastes good and is a healthy addition to any diet, as it offers lots of antioxidants and powerful antibacterial qualities. Grows to 10″ tall and forms a dense mat. Plant this perennial herb in the full sun and give good drainage.
